From: "jimhefner" Arty, it's good to hear you and Larry made it in good shape this morning! Also good to hear others are arriving safely today. Hopefully Miss P'fer has arrived by now too. Weather sounds great. Hope to have more of the same in the morning. Forget the fuel cost... these experiences are priceless! ... a good line for your hubby :) Kidding aside, very few have the guts and the opportunity to do what you are doing so just enjoy every minute of it... it's what great memories are made of. I'm looking forward to seeing you and the rest of the gang tomorrow morning! -------- Jim Hefner Tucson, AZ C-150F N150HF based at 57AZ Do Not Archive Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=113462#113462 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 04:21:49 PM PST US From: "Richard Girard" Subject: Kolb-List: Calling Dave Bigelow Dave, How is the HKS coming along? What kind of CHT and EGT readings are you getting at cruise RPM? Still sorting mine and just wanted to compare notes. I can't seem to keep CHT's under 300 in the 4200 to 4500 RPM band, but they're just fine at full throttle. I have been slowly dialing out prop pitch to bring climb RPM up, but haven't seen any improvement in cruise temps yet. Tomorrow I'll be calling the factory to ask about raising the jet needle one notch if this last adjustment doesn't get it.

A local friend of mine purchased a Kolb Mark IIIC. I think the previous owner was the former partners of the TNK. I'm terrible with names but I remember he was a big old boy. I think I remember him flying this plane at the first TNK homecoming I went to. Anyway, this Mark IIIC will not turn right in straight and level cruise. The stick moves easily to the left but takes two hands to move it a even a little bit to the right. If you put the plane in a climb or a descent, it unloads the problem and allows the stick to move to the right. I've looked it over and see no obvious problem. I noticed that the center line of the elevator hinge on the left side is not exactly centered with the pivot bolt. Off about a 1/8" I suggested getting that aligned and tightening the cables a bit. If anyone has faced this problem or has suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated. -------- Thanks too much, John Bickham Mark III-C "Using my Repairman Certificate" St. Francisville, LA Do Not Archive Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=113488#113488 ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 08:08:50 PM PST US From: "Richard Pike" Subject: Re: Kolb-List: fairly new website Motortopia is not very user friendly.
